The fund houses we start with

Three of India's largest AMCs. Every scheme they run.

We've begun with HDFC, SBI and Kotak — together managing a large share of India's mutual fund assets — and we're adding more fund houses through the year.

Fund house names and marks are the property of their respective owners. Funds Valley is an AMFI-registered distributor, not affiliated with or endorsed by these AMCs.

Why does picking the right scheme matter so much?

Because most Indian investors aren't losing money to a bad market. They're losing it to a scheme they never really understood.

The choice problem

Over 1,500 schemes. Most people pick by name recognition.

Category, benchmark, expense ratio, manager tenure, downside capture — the things that actually decide your outcome are the things nobody reads. We do that reading, and hand you the shortlist with the reasoning attached.

of an average investor's holding period survives a serious drawdown intact. The scheme rarely fails — the investor exits it. Most SIPs that stop, stop in the month the market falls hardest.

Individual schemes, chosen properly

Pick the scheme. Not a black box.

You invest in a named mutual fund scheme, held in your own folio with the AMC. No bundles, no baskets, nothing wrapped around it that you can't see.

What makes Funds Valley different?

Named schemes, honest economics, and the paperwork handled from day one.

You own the scheme, not a wrapper

Every rupee goes into a named mutual fund scheme, in your own folio with the AMC. No basket, no model portfolio, nothing between you and the fund.

Named schemesYour folioExit any day

Shortlisted by a process

Schemes are screened on rolling returns, downside capture, portfolio turnover and manager tenure — and we show you the reasoning, not just the star rating.

ScreenedReviewed quarterlyReasoning shown

Tax paperwork, handled

Capital gains statements, ELSS lock-in tracking and a consolidated CAS come ready at filing time, so the paperwork never lands on you.

We handle the paperwork and compliance too

From your first SIP mandate to your final tax filing, everything in between runs with us — so it never lands on your desk.

How we're paid

You pay us nothing. Here's who does.

We're an AMFI-registered distributor. You invest in the regular plan of a scheme, and the fund house pays us a trail commission out of the scheme's expense ratio. That's the whole arrangement — and we'd rather you read it here than find it later.

  • No fee billed to you, ever — no subscription, no advisory charge
  • The trail rate for every scheme, published on its page before you invest
  • Trail is paid on assets held, not on trades — switching earns us nothing extra
  • Your money moves bank → AMC directly; it never passes through us

FAQs

Everything you need to know about schemes, regular plans, KYC, SIPs, taxes and getting started.

What is Funds Valley?

Funds Valley is a mutual fund distribution platform built for Indian investors. We help you find and invest in individual mutual fund schemes from HDFC, SBI and Kotak, and we handle the surrounding work — KYC, SIP mandates, statements and tax reporting — so owning the right scheme doesn't come with a pile of paperwork.

What is the minimum investment amount?

Most equity schemes on Funds Valley start at ₹500 a month for a SIP, or ₹1,000 as a lump sum. Some debt and liquid schemes have a higher minimum set by the fund house. The exact minimum is shown on each scheme's page.

Do you offer regular plans or direct plans?

We offer regular plans. Every mutual fund scheme is sold in two versions: a direct plan, which you buy yourself from the AMC with no intermediary, and a regular plan, which is bought through a distributor like us. The regular plan carries a slightly higher expense ratio, and the fund house pays a trail commission out of that to the distributor. It is the standard, SEBI-recognised way distribution works in India, and it means you pay us nothing directly — but you should know it exists, and you should know the direct plan of the same scheme is cheaper. We publish the trail rate on every scheme page so you can judge for yourself whether the service is worth the difference.

How does Funds Valley make money?

Entirely from trail commission paid by the fund houses on the assets you hold with us. We charge you no subscription, no advisory fee and no transaction charge. Trail is paid on assets held rather than on transactions, so we earn nothing extra when you switch schemes — but it does mean we are paid more on schemes with higher trail rates, which is exactly why we publish those rates next to every recommendation.

Are my units safe? Who holds my money?

Funds Valley never holds your money. Your investment moves from your bank account to the AMC, and units are allotted to a folio held in your own name with the registrar — CAMS or KFintech. You can see those holdings independently in your consolidated account statement, and you can redeem any working day, with or without us.

How is KYC done?

Through paperless CKYC. You verify PAN and Aadhaar via DigiLocker, add your bank account, complete an in-person verification video step, and set up an e-NACH mandate. If you are already KYC-compliant with any SEBI-registered intermediary, most of this is already done and simply gets fetched.

How are my mutual fund gains taxed?

For equity-oriented schemes, gains on units held twelve months or less are short-term and taxed at 20%; gains beyond twelve months are long-term, taxed at 12.5% above the ₹1.25 lakh annual exemption. Debt-oriented schemes are taxed at your slab rate. We prepare your realised gains statement, ELSS 80C proofs and consolidated CAS at year end, but we are not tax advisors — please confirm your own position with your CA.

Which fund houses can I invest in?

We've started with HDFC Mutual Fund, SBI Mutual Fund and Kotak Mahindra Mutual Fund — covering more than 150 schemes across equity, debt, hybrid and ELSS. We're adding further fund houses through the year, and any scheme you already hold with them will appear in your dashboard once we do.

Can I pause, change or exit my SIP?

Yes, any time, at no charge. You can pause, change the amount, change the date or stop entirely from your dashboard. Exit loads, where an individual scheme charges one, are shown to you before you confirm any redemption.

Invest with a plan, not a hunch

The market isn't waiting. Neither should your money. Invest in mutual funds properly, this time.
